Measuring and data technology for milk tankersTamper-proof – officially approved – accurateProcess EngineeringGEA Diessel1

Intelligent in-truck computers –ZEVODAT-C1 TM and ZEVODAT-flash TMThe ability to record both the quantityand the quality of the milk andto identify the source of each deliveryopens up a whole new range of possibilitiesin the processing chain. Thecontinuous monitoring of both theeach individual reception process andof the entire tanker load serves to supportquality and tour management.This potential for optimisation canbe further enhanced by bi-directionaldata transmission between the tankerand the central computer via the internet.These functions, which are availableas extras, allow flexible route planningand optimised fleet management.The ZEVODAT-flash TM is a modern,state-of-the-art device, allowing for ahigh degree of performance and communicationfunctionality. It is equippedwith GPS as standard, so that suppliersare automatically identified.This logistical support is further optimisedby the inclusion of an addition alsocket modem for GPRS transfer. Thisturns ZEVODAT-flash TM into a datatransfer device that transmits the co l-lected data and details of the individualreception procedures in real time.GPRS data transfer is a very economictransmission option in day-to-day operation,since the provider charges onlyfor the volumes of data actually transmitted.Both devices possess OIML certificationin conformity with Direct ive2004/22 EC, and so can be used inmeasuring equipment subject toofficial approval pursuant to M. I. D.Highlights of the ZEVODAT-flash TM■ automatic supplier identificiationvia GPS■ identification of the sample bottleby barcode or RFID tag is possible■ remote parameterisation is possible■ intelligent control of meteringsystem and pumps is possible■ data memory up to 512 MByteis possibleAs a starter version of this data captureequipment, we recommend ZEVO-DAT-C1 TM . This device acts as an extensionto the electromagnetic flow meter.It registers and stores all informationthat is relevant for the later accountingprocedure and transmits it on towherever the data is processed. At thesame time, the ZEVODAT-C1 TM cancontrol individual plant components.ZEVODAT-C1 TM4ZEVODAT-flash TMWith this feature our customers are ina position, among other things, to optimisetheir tours in such a way as tosave themselves not only time andtravelling distance, but fuel as well.The GPRS system has also provedit self in the monitoring and loggingof the individual reception proceduresand of sampling. Any unexpectedchanges in the procedures are immediatelyidentified at the control centreand reported back to the driver. Suchearly identification and immediateremedying of operator errors is indisputablyan advantage to all those involvedin the procedure.We optimise yourlogistics■■■■Constant monitoring of qualityrelevantdata ensures traceabilityall the way along the transportchain.GPS satellite navigation simplifiesthe identification of suppliers.The mobile information systemusing GSM/GPRS represents anenormous and innovative stepforward for the driver (e.g. in re -spect of route information) andthe customer (e.g. in respect ofthe transmission of laboratorydata).Thanks to secure data transmissionfrom the tanker to the centraldata processing unit, errorsin accounting are prevented.

Tried and tested –stand-alone samplersQuantity is not the only criterion: Theprice paid for the milk also dependson its quality. Representative producttesting with reliable identification ofthe supplier is essential. In addition,under EC Directive 178/2002 samplingmust be performed at everystage in order to ensure traceability.GEA Diessel’s reliable samplers contributeto fulfilling these various re -quire ments.trols and regulates the taking of samplesin accordance with time or volumecriteria. They are easy to integrateinto existing systems, and are also simpleto extend. They are equipped witha sensor, so that they are able to interrupttime-interval sampling if, forexample, there is an interruption inreception.All stand-alone samplers are designedin such a way as to be able to takeei ther individual or tour samplesSampler for multiple samplesFeatures that addvalue in day-todayoperations■It is possible to take two separateClean individual samples via overstand-alone sampler■individual samples simultaneously.Sample bottles are filled contin-uously.The trick with representative sam plingis that throughout the entire milkreception process, from the first to thelast drop, a constant partial flow isdiverted into the sample bottle.Fully automatic sampler■■■Sample quantities can be regulatedin 0.1 ml steps.low carry-oversuitable for bacteriologicalsamplingIn the stand-alone versions, these lowmaintenancedevices consist of thesampler and a control unit that con-directly from the pipe. The sample ofraw milk is then stored in a bottlebearing unique identification.5

Multitasking –fully automated sampling using the SampleGuard TMThe GEA Diessel SampleGuard TM isthe all-rounder among samplers. Theuse of this fully automated samplerleads to the strictest possible degreeof surveillance. The SampleGuardunseals, opens and fills the samplebottle, and after sampling closes thebottle which was chosen at randomduring this process. Any tamperingwith the system is reported immediatelyto the surveillance centre– for the data cont rol unit of theSampleGuard TM device – the ZEVO-DAT-flash TM – not only carries outsurveillance functions but also effectsdata exchange with the control centrein real time contact by GPRS.The SampleGuard TM is not only intelligent,it is also sensitive to an equaldegree: Two sensors monitor the constantand continuous filling of thebottles, and interrupt immediatelythe sampling and milk reception inthe event of any fault. Sample bottlesare identified electronically by RFIDtags attached to them. Once filled, theyare kept sealed and under surveillancein the refrigerated sample box – absolutelysafe against tampering.SampleGuard TM■■■■■■This you can rely on:The automated reception anddischarge procedures excludeany possibility of tampering.GPS satellite navigation simplifiesthe identification of suppliers.Representative sampling withunique identification enhancesthe reliability of the laboratoryanalysis and the accounting.Thanks to secure data transmissionfrom the tanker to the centraldata processing unit, errorsin accounting are prevented.Thanks to the intelligent sensortechnology, each sample bottleis filled to the same level.Temperature-regulated storageensures that the sample retainsits consistency unchanged untilthe end of the tour.6
